looking ell the novelties Of the season
are, and she Just means to look as fresh
and young as she can, toe" Why notl
Times are good. and there is no sin in
making oneself look pref and win
ming, within the limit Of remaining nat
sral. But when We affect parasois on a
December day. and that on the shRdy
side OF the street, too, no matter how
becoming the lining Of that parasol may
be TO as, or how supeestiyely it may de-
fac our shapely shoulders, il is in bad
taste. il is silly. and detracss, instead of
adding to, our womanly appearance
God did not give Us
SUNSHINE IN DECEMBER,
In these ATTITUDES, for the purpose of
sporting psrasols. and We are clad to
see that most women have grace enough
not 20 offer the insult TO their creator.
We trust that the precedent offered here,
by q stylish lady, not born ia the North,
evidently, will fall fFuitIess among our
own society women.
Bat we we're talking Of new bonnets
and church going. Nov, IL ia a we'll
known fact that the congregation Of a
church, any church, always, at all times,
consists much more largely OF women
than of men. IL il a part of their sphere
TO uphold the church. and they do ii.
The church is upheld in winter as we'll
as in summer, and at prayer meetings
in all seasons. SO we can lust easily
shift this accusation Of going to church
to see the rev bonnets and show our
swn" onto the
SHOULDERS OF THE MEN,
Who can't yea such pretty head gear,
and are obliged 10 conform 30 eastam
asd pat their stills or brushes under the
seat, whether they are bald or not.
And somehow bald or a red headed
man does look so much better with Bis
bat on. And 30, seFeneiy, we will go 30
church In our best bib and tucker, TO
look and be looked al II We so choose.
And some OF Us are going Just TO see
how the bride" r Gently returned from
the East, locks. By her trip she has
lsngtkened the interest usually felt IN
brides, and ws have be iFd that she hiss
some lovely sniis. And how pretty
she will look 10 q lavender bonnet |
do hope she has one," said an enthnsi-
astio little milliner in our bearing.
Then there are strangers within the
gAtss Of our city who have elme 10 stay,
bot "a yet, being strangers, they are
subls to double inspection, and We
confess 10 being curious ss to how Miss
J. will look IN that lovely new green
silk OF hers. IL Is 80 soft and genteel
looking, and she IL sseh fine figure. 40
